37 Now on the last and most important day of the feast, Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink! 38 He who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water.’”

There is a river that flows from the throne of God.

 “He who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water.’” ~ John 7:38, AMP

Lord, I know there is a river flowing straight from Your heart into mine — replenishing, renewing, sustaining. Thank You.

You, Yourself, are the Living Water.

Your Holy Spirit flows over and through and around the broken, difficult places in my heart bringing healing and refreshment for a weary soul.

That is amazing.

Let Your Living Water flow over our broken places, Lord.

Let Your Living Water flow over our broken places, Lord.

But Lord, I know there are obstacles there — debris blocking Your river’s flow. That’s why I don’t feel strong. That’s why my eyes overflow with their own painful river.

Those tears are precious to You.

I am precious to you, as are the others who cry to You in their distress. You come alongside us in our difficult places just as You promised.

Open our eyes to see You, Lord! Awaken our hearts to recognize and respond to Your Presence.

Just as a river encounters an obstacle and backs up against it only to find a way around and broaden its breadth, I ask that You do the same with Your river of Living Water flowing through us.

Use the obstacles in our lives to broaden the outflow of Your river in us.

May Your Living Water be persistent in us, breaking through every barrier in its path.

Send its power through the dark crevices of our hearts like a mighty flood overcoming and pushing everything out of the way that blocks its path.

We want to be a blessing to You. We want Your love to overflow through us — Your grace, Your mercy — into the lives of those we encounter.

We want our hearts to be washed clean of any debris cluttering and blocking Your life-giving flow.

Use us for Your glory. Pour out Your love through us.

We are Yours, Lord. We belong to You, and You belong to us. Bless the Name of the Lord!

In Jesus’ Name I pray,

Amen
